Eersterust residents receive title deeds
Residents in Eersterust received official documents for their homes during a delivery drive-by on Tuesday. According to MMC for Housing and Human Settlements Aaron Maluleka, residents can expect the issuing of more title deeds to beneficiaries as part of the ongoing commitment to support the community. This comes after Maluleka launched a drive-by delivery of title deeds initiative aimed at enhancing home ownership and property security in Eersterust. Spokesperson Melandré Frost said community leaders and residents celebrated the milestone in property rights and housing stability as title deeds were delivered to five homes for the launch. 'This initiative not only reflects the metro's dedication to improving homeownership within the Eersterust area but also aims to educate residents about the legal responsibilities and rights associated with property ownership.' She said during the delivery Maluleka emphasised the importance of safekeeping title deeds, as they represent the legal ownership of property. 'It is crucial for homeowners to understand that losing or misplacing a title deed can result in significant costs, about R3 000 and can complicate property rights,' said Maluleka. He urged all homeowners to take proactive measures to protect their documents and highlighted the significance of the law of succession, reinforcing the need for residents to draft valid wills. 'Having a legally binding will ensures that your property is passed on according to your wishes. This protects your legacy and secures the future of your loved ones,' he explained. Frost said Maluleka further addressed the importance of homeowners insuring their properties against potential natural disasters. 'He advised residents that it is essential to protect the structure of their home with a reputable insurance company because such measures are crucial for safeguarding one's investment and providing peace of mind in uncertain times.' She concluded that more title deeds will be available for collection at the Human Settlements Department offices in various regions, with additional opportunities to receive title deeds during public meetings scheduled soon. Local ward councillor, Benjamin Lawrence expressed gratitude on behalf of the community and emphasised the importance of bringing dignity to the residents of Eersterust. 'Some residents have been in their homes with no official documentation for many years, I am very happy for this initiative by the metro.' He said Eersterust councillors hope to continue working with the metro to restore the dignity of the residents. Do you have more information about the story?

Five suspects arrested in Wilkoppies for house robbery, kidnapping, and murder
Five suspects who were linked to the kidnapping and robbery of Hasani Daniel Maluleka, 62, from Wilkoppies, in the North West, have been apprehended by the police. The suspects have been formally charged with murder after they led police to a dam on the outskirts of Orkney where Maluleka's body was placed after he was murdered. The suspects, Julia Kolobi, 47, Mcdonald Tsolo, 39, Bongani Rampai, 43, Thabo Motlatsi, 50, and Kagiso Wageng, 37, appeared in the Klerksdorp Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, April 22, facing charges of kidnapping, house robbery and murder. "They will remain in custody until their next appearance on Wednesday, April 30, for legal representation and a bail application," said police spokesperson, Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone. An investigation team was formed after Maluleka's former girlfriend was unable to reach him on his mobile phone on Friday, April 11, 2025. Preliminary investigations revealed that Maluleka's Mercedes Benz and Toyota Hilux vehicles were missing, and his residence had been looted.
